The Liche is a moderate boss mob found in keeps that are the same layout as necromancer keeps, and are inhabited by zombies instead of skeletons. Usually, the Liche spawns with 120 to 240 hp (60 to 120 hearts) and is guarding the last room in the underground chambers beneath the castle. He is best fought with full iron armor or better and a shield. The Liche is hostile.

Attacks

The Liche has four types of attacks: Life Drain, Summon Undead, Gravel Drop, and Knockback.

Knockback Attack

Gravel Drop attack

.

Life Drain

The life draining orb is a purple colored sphere that he shoots toward the player from a distance or in melee. It deals 3 hearts (no armor) and heals him 1-1.5 hearts. It also has the property of reflecting arrows when they hit the orb.

Summon

The summoning attack summons one SummonedUndead mob at a time, up to four mobs. The SummonedUndead have 20 hit points (10 hearts) and no weapons. They deal two hearts of damage (no armor). Occasionally, a boss SummonedUndead will spawn. These SummonedUndead heal the Liche 2 hit points (1 heart) about every 2 seconds. SummonedUndead cannot hit upwards or downwards.

Gravel Drop

The gravel drop attack is self-explanatory. He drops blocks of gravel that create two to three block high patterns that will fit in a 3x3 area.

This attack deals suffocation damage, and can also block the Liche off from being accessed.

Knockback

This attack looks like a ring of dirt particles going outward from the Liche starting at the Liche and growing to a 6 block radius. It pushes you back to 6 blocks away from the Liche while doing 1 damage (half a heart) per square. It can be dodged with a jump boost, such as tribal armor.

Drops

• 2 diamonds
• Cursed Bone
• 0-2 Bones
• 0-1 Emerald Shard
• 0-1 Heart
• Experience Orbs

Summoning

The Liche can be summoned using the Liche Staff. So far, this is only obtainable through Creative Mode/NEI sidebar. This item has a much longer usage range then a spawn egg. It can spawn Liches up to 100 blocks away, possibly further.^{(Verification Needed)}

Strategy

One possible way to defeat the Liche is to get him either outside the castle where there is room to maneuver or to get him into a wide area where a bow with a fast draw speed can be used from a distance. It is recommended to keep at least 20 blocks away or the summons can overcome you. When the Liche is weak, running up and hitting him a few times until dead is a preferred method.

Towering up is not a great idea due to the gravel attack that can cause suffocation and/or fall damage to occur where summons may await as well.
